Effie is a really helpful and hospitable host. She was more than happy to accomodate various requirements that we had and helped us out where needed. Her hostel is an easy reach from the reclining buddha and the grand palace and only about 20m walk from both China Town and Khao San, so it makes this is an easy location for getting to some of Bangkok's key tourist destinations (and isn't an area where you will be overrun by tourists just from walking outside your front door). The place itself is stylishly decorated and the room was comfortable and spacious too. Would happily return here on another trip to Bangkok.
